John Laydon Obituary
John Laydon, aged 67, left his earthly body to be with the Lord on Saturday, November 14th, 2020. John will live on in the hearts and memories of his family, including his beloved wife of 47 years, Lauren; sons Abraham (Kimberly) Laydon and Luke (Nicole) Laydon; grandchildren, Ava, Thane, Elle, Sloane, and Bolden; mother, Delores Butler, and many special siblings, cousins, and extended relatives. John asked that in lieu of flowers that people purchase trees for their own home, his favorite was the Aspen. His final wishes were that people love God, each other, and the land. Funeral Services will be held virtually from the Pavilion of Reflections at Olinger Crown Hill Cemetery at 11:30AM on Saturday, December 5th, 2020. The link to view the webex services is

We appreciated getting to know John through Abe & Kimberly's wedding and a few all family gatherings. We all benefit from him through his work on Johnsons' Tunnel and in the facilities at CU while 2 of our sons studied there. We most appreciated his heart for God and his character as reflected in his son Abe.

May God grant grace and peace to the Laydon family. Please know that John was always helpful, friendly and kind. He was respected and loved by many in the CU community. I worked with John until my retirement in late 2018. John’s work space was next to mine, which gave me the opportunity to get to know him. We had many conversations, including how to roast and peel hot peppers without burning your hands. Since I had already done that, I am glad he taught me the correct technique! Thanks John. But, what I remember most about John was the way he loved his family and how his eyes lit up when he talked about them. John, you will be missed. See you in Paradise!

John was a very kind loving gentleman who gave joy to those he met. That smile shined all the time. I don’t think I ever seen him angry. Always teaching Abe and Luke to reach for the stars, encouraging every step of the way. You will be missed very much as always. Love you and your family very much. Thinking of you all very often.
Love
